Sports law
Sport brings together emotion, commerce and law. Our team advises those who shape it with commitment, rigour and a keen sense of the issues of the day.
Professional sport has become an industry in its own right, where contractual, tax, regulatory and governance questions all meet. We advise clubs, federations, leagues, players and investors on what makes the sector both rich and demanding.
Our approach
We bring our expertise to a sector that calls for responsiveness, judgement and discretion. Our commitment goes beyond the strictly legal: it is grounded in an understanding of the ecosystem and of the cultures that make it up.
Areas of practice
- Players' contracts, transfers, image rights and sponsorship
- Governance of clubs, federations and leagues
- Investment and financing transactions
- Sporting regulation, integrity and anti-doping
- Disciplinary proceedings and arbitration (CAS)
